Question

Distribute to create an equivalent expression with the fewest symbols possible 1/5(15+10k)=

Answer 1

3 + 2k

Given that:

⅕ (15+10k)

Using the distributive property which is:

a × (b + c) = a × b + a × c

Which also means: Remove Parentheses

Thus we have:

⅕ (15+10k)

⇒ ⅕ × 15+⅕ ×10k

⇒ ¹⁵⁄₅ + ¹⁰ᵏ⁄₅

⇒ 3 + 2k

Hence, the answer to equivalent expression is 3 + 2k.
